The Everything Gluten-Free Slow Cooker Cookbook BIG GIVEAWAY!

Over the past two months I've shamelessly begged & pleaded for you, my dear readers, to help me spread the word about my new book, my blog, and my facebook page. And you did. You shared with friends & family, you left kind and uplifting comments on my facebook page and I'm incredibly grateful! We've reached over 3,000 likes on facebook and that was the magic number I was hoping for in time for the book release! The book (while still not officially released) has been flying off the virtual Amazon shelves and has received very positive reviews thus far! And now it's time to share with you!!

This week I'm giving away FIVE brand new, signed copies of my book and TWO of those winners will receive a brand new 4-quart Rival Crock Pot brand slow cooker (purchased by ME and sent to you!! The winner can choose black or red!) This was the slow cooker that I used for MOST of the recipes in the cookbook and I think it's the perfect size for mid-range slow cooking!

I would love this, my Husband got diagnosed with Multiple allergies last year and we are newbies to all this but learning quickly! This would be a great addition to our gluten-free tools!clhwilliams@gmail.com

GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME! lol My son and I are going gluten free and I'm struggling to overcome favorite gluten-filled yuck stuff. I have Gluten intolerance, my son has Autism and ADHD. This would be an amazing life-saver for easy ideas! Hope hope hope! corkumonline@gmail.com

I commented once but it looks like it didn't work. I found you through Silvana this morning. I love gluten free cookbooks and love my slow cooker. This is a perfect combination! I'm a busy homeschooling mom of three successfully beating lupus with the help of cutting out foods that cause inflammation. I'd love the chance to win your cookbook. Thanks for the opportunity.

Woot Woot!! GF AND slow cooked?!? This is AWESOME. due to Celiac, we must eat GF in my family and due to other health issues, I'm not able to cook traditional dinners...crockpot cooking is perfect. Thanks for the chance... stacyaclick@gmail.com

sourcerlana@gmail.com - Gluten free has been my lifestyle since December. Working fulltime and doing Reiki as well doesn't allow for a lot of cooking time. Learning better ways to cook gluten free, love crockpot cooking. I have read a lot of reviews sounds like this cookbook is a must for my collection.

Thanks for creating something awesome! I love my slow cooker and to have a book of all gluten free foods would be so nice to have. I love your website! I would love love love to win it and try all the recipies!!! jenjensan85@gmail.com

This sounds awesome! Perfect for my weekly rescue from my slow cooker! "Fright Nights" in our home are common and weekly as many, something new to add to my rep would be awesome! Thank you!thebarretts@telus.net

I am very excited for your book, both for you and my family! ;-) I am always looking for new slow cooker recipes and not having to worry about trying to convert recipes to GF will be helpful! wolf_spirit_dragon (at) yahoo (dot) com

This is exciting. I've found a new love for the slow-cooker in the last two years since going gluten free. I used to think everything tasted the same no matter what I put in it or all the recipes had canned soup. I've really been able to utilize it more and look forward to your recipes. colecrew5(at)verizon(dot)net.

I've already got a copy of the cookbook but I would love to have a smaller slow cooker, mine is too big for most of your recipes! If I win I'll happily pay it forward and do a giveaway with the extra cookbook copy :) jenni@spoonfulatatime.com

I love your posts! My niece was disgnosed with celiac disease and her mom and I have working hard to find food she loves. Before her diagnosis, she would go into a restaurant and say...bring me your specialty...didn't ask what was in it, just trusted the server. Now she has to be so careful. I would love a copy of your cookbook and the crockpot. I'd give the crockpot and cookbook to her so she can take it to Tennessee with her her when she starts the new job she accepted today!!

I love reading your posts. I think the crockpot is the way to go for busy families. Start dinner in the morning and it will be ready when you need it! Or start breakfast before you go to bed and it will be ready and hot for a great start. Now I just need some recipes for my new gluten-free lifestyle and I will be set to go. Of course a new crockpot would be a great addition too!Barbara Shawbshaw3@gmail.com

Just started the GF diet this week. It's so eady to focus on what one *can't* eat. Your website however, lists so many surprising recipes that allow GF folks to eat their favorite foods! Thank you for so much great information. ddcost yahoo.com

I would love to win a copy of your new crockpot cookbook! I love recipes I can put in the crockpot early in the day have a good meal without a lot of work when I get home from work. Thanks for the chance to win!

Thank you for all you do for us to assist us in our daily lives trying to live GF. You have been really helpful to my life. It would be wonderful to have a chance to win your book to assist with assistance for cooking in my crock pot.

Carrie, thank you for your generous offer! The recipes I have tried from here always get printed out and taped to the inside of my cupboard doors (hey! That's what works for me!) and I just know the recipes in this new cookbook will be 'cupboard door'-worthy! Congratulations! norfbfly@aol.com

Hi! I am currently trying a GF diet to improve health problems. Your blog and cookbook have been recommended by a friend who suffer from gluten intolerance. This is a great offer! Here is my email mademoisellea@hotmail.com. Thank you!

~~~ I LIVE for crock-pot recipes, especially gluten free... since my life does depend on it... literally. I have had mine for many years... and has been a faithful companion of my dinner table. It has been able to stretch a dollar farther and make gluten free living so much healthier & easier. A shiny new one would give my old one a happy retirement.~~~ athenahgoguen@gmail.com

I would love to win the cook book and or the crock pot. I have 3 in the family that have to eat Gluten Free. This would help so much. Thank you for offering them for a give away.normabrannan0101@yahoo.com

Oh, this is such a fabulous giveaway! I'm trying to keep up with 2 very hungry gluten free teenage boys and I can't seem to fill my freezer fast enough for those days when I don't have time cook. The slow cooker is great because I can prep ahead and have it all ready in time for a hot dinner on the table for the boys. I can also freeze the left overs (if we actually have any)!zebramama@hotmail.com

Congratulations on your new book!!! If I could do a slow cooked, gluten free meal every night so I don't have to cook when I get home from work, life would be somewhat easier. I would love to win! dbajewels@cox.net

I am new to gluten-free cooking and really new to cooking altogether. Your slow cooker recipes sound perfect for me to really get into the new life style eating that is necessary for me to get healthy. I would love to be able to do that with your new cookbook and cooker. Thanks for the opportunity. dsrtduo@aol.com

I would love to win. I just had to throw away my favorite crockpot after the lid broke. I was seriously considering keeping it and using foil for the lid instead just because I love the size of it so much. Just put the book on my christmas wish list. robin63079@hotmail.com

I've been following your blog for quite a while now - met you in Charlotte at the allergy event there and sampled your fabulous brownies. I would love to win your crock pot cookbook - my favorite kitchen appliance!Joyce Powel (jsp176@hotmail.com)

I love your recipes - This would be a fantastic book to add to my collection. I'm heading off to Graduate School next year, and slow cooker recipes are the easiest way to make sure that I still eat healthily during those weeks that I spend days on end in the lab and library.

I'm still less than a year into my diagnosis and this book would help me make more things for dinner than tacos and salad. Email - bhendricks314@gmail.com

I love reading your posts. They are always so helpful. You have such wonderful advice and recipes on your blog. This cookbook is definately going to be on my list for Santa (but I dont think I can wait that long) so if I dont win one I will be heading over to amazon and buying one.

I would love this. I am a terrible cook. My crock pot meals rarely end up as edible. Even my dogs won't eat some of the things that come out of it. Sigh. I have no clue what I do wrong. This book might help me like my crock pot again. bethvanduzer (at) yahoo (dot) com

Hi! I just went gluten free one week ago. I did this because my stomach often hurt and my doctor suggested it might help. I noticed that I hardly had any stomach pain since then and my energy levels have been steady all day long... with little to no afternoon slump. I lost 5 pounds in 7 days just cutting out the gluten. Can't be that! I would sure love to win a cookbook to help me out on this journey. I LOVE to cook and bake, and I am pretty darn good at it. Now I am going to start learning all over again, and any tools would be appreciated. Thanks for considering me! :-) Sarahsarah@thepromise.cc

Been gluten free for one year and am loving life again! Your blog and a few others have made the transition easy while maintaining an active lifestyle. Can't wait to try out the new cookbook! Don't own a slow cooker but this might motivate me to buy one, especially working long hours. Thanks -- Email: CEGlax717@aol.com

I have been GF for 19 years now and have recently been looking into using my slow cooker more often. I would love a copy of this cookbook as I'm sure it would get me off to a great start with my slow cooker and I wouldn't have to adapt anything :). Thanks for the contest. I love your blog and am looking forward to some trying some of your great recipes.Abigail (aahumphreys@gmail.com)
